‘Blindspot’ Renewed by NBC for Season 2

Series from Greg Berlanti is the first show of new season to get renewal

NBC has renewed freshman drama “Blindspot” for a second season, the network announced Monday.

The show from creator Martin Gero and executive producer Greg Berlanti has proven to be both a ratings and critical smash. Since its Sept. 21 launch, the series has dominated the 10 p.m. Monday timeslot. It is the first new fall show to get a season two pick up.

“Blindspot” is averaging a 3.7 rating in the advertiser coveted adults 18-49 demographic and 12.7 million viewers overall so far this season, according to Nielsen estimates. Those numbers make it the number one new series of the new fall season in 18-49.
